Many people in Riverton, Winsted, Barkhamsted and surrounding towns have taken advantage of our personal self storage facility for numerous reasons. Some families are moving into smaller more economical houses that do not have enough space for their old personal belongings. In other situations friends or couples are moving together and find that now they have two households worth of extra items that will not fit in their new home. Regardless of the reasons for storing items it is important that you keep these items safe while they are in our personal self storage facility.
We have done our best in providing a facility that is safe and secure by adding well-lit parking lots and loading docks. We have added the security of having a closed circuit camera that is active 24 hours a day. This system monitors the facility inside and out. Since we have covered the outside of the facility, we will go over steps that will ensure your items stay as fresh as the day you put them in.
The first you need to do to keep your items safe from deterioration is to ensure that you are not storing items that are sensitive to temperature or humidity. If this is the case consider using one of our climate controlled self storage units. These units will keep your items within a specified range of temperature and/or humidity. Having these items stored in a stable climate will help preserve your belongings until you are able to retrieve them.
We recommend that you stack your heavier items on the bottom and ensure that the boxes are not over packed so much that they would cause them to be too heavy and dangerous. Remember that these items will be there for a while. Over time a heavy box on top of an improperly packed box can cause the improperly packed box to collapse and spill onto other boxes possibly causing them to topple and cause a chain reaction.
